Function
You can save the operands entered in the "PLC status" window to a
file or read in a back-up list of operands.
The values in the PLC status are automatically discarded when the
system is restarted cold (after POWER ON).
As a way of optimizing the entry of operands and formats in the PLC
status, you can read in operand screen forms from DOS files (one file
for each screen form).
These screen forms are generated in a special syntax in ASCII
format.
Naming conventions for DOS files:
name.plc
